FS: 4 Straight Razors

Here are four more razors looking for a new home. All are shave ready. I finished on vintage escher, but if the buyer prefers something else I can do that too. And for those who aren't honing yet, I'm certainly happy to rehone the razor in the next few months.

1) Spike GONE

9/16, wedge, spike point (a tad rounded), jimps on bottom

blade is clean - a speckle or two.

green transparent scales (lucite?)

Union Cutlery, Olean, NY

Price $45

This is a rather fun razor - very light and maneurable, yet stiff edge.

2) Kropp

6/8, full hollow, round point, jimps on top and bottom

some surface pitting

black celluloid scales, broken and repaired at butt pin - very stable

Sheffield, England

Price $45

Not the best looking razor out there, but it won't break the bank. That's for those who want to try english steel in a larger size.

Another bump. Although at this point I don't think the visibility is the problem.
I'm sure that if I offer them for free they will be taken in minutes, so I guess the problem is economic. Nevertheless I am pretty certain the razors are worth no less than my asking prices.

The blades are not matte finished - I use a reflection of matte surface so that the defects are not hidden. They are as shiny as the factory grind allows (as you can see from the few spots where my reflector got in the blade).
Still I prefer posting good pictures that show every defect to having disappointed buyers :)
